Experience the Full Benefits of Standard Braces

Metal braces have been the gold standard in orthodontics for decades, providing precise and effective alignment for patients of all ages.

They are particularly beneficial for children and teens with more complex dental needs, ensuring every tooth moves into its proper position.

Unlike clear aligners, braces remain fixed in place, working around the clock to create lasting results.

At Destination Smiles, we make treatment as convenient as possible, offering Saturday appointments and flexible scheduling so your child’s orthodontic journey fits seamlessly into your family’s routine.

Enjoy a Personalized Treatment Plan From a Certified Orthodontist

Every smile is unique, and so is every treatment plan.

Dr. Kwong, our certified orthodontist, carefully assesses each patient’s needs using advanced digital scans to map out a precise and effective alignment strategy.

After placing the braces, regular adjustments will guide teeth into their ideal positions over time.

Whether your child needs early intervention or you’re considering braces as an adult, we provide expert care at every step.

Frequently Asked Questions About Traditional Braces

How long does treatment with traditional braces take?

The length of treatment depends on the complexity of the case, but most patients wear metal braces for 18 to 36 months. Regular adjustments help ensure steady progress, and following your orthodontist’s instructions can help keep treatment on track for the best results.

Do traditional braces hurt?

Braces may cause mild discomfort, especially after adjustments, but this typically fades within a few days. Eating soft foods and using orthodontic wax can help ease irritation. If your child experiences ongoing discomfort, let us know, and we’ll make any necessary adjustments.

How often will my child need to visit for adjustments?

Patients with traditional braces typically visit our office every 4 to 8 weeks for adjustments. These appointments are essential to keep treatment progressing smoothly and ensure your child’s teeth shift into proper alignment as planned.
